What's in q Name9

cit is good thing that some of the
projected railroads are not built, - said a
conductor; for instance, how would the
St. Louis, Omaha and Western, which
was incorporated a few weeks ago, sound
after the railway boys had nicknamed it
according to its initials? 1t would be a
SLOW road. for sure. 1t is a fact that
some years ago a railroad was incorpora-
ted with the name, Detroit, Elkhart and
Terre Haute. OF course, the boys had it
nicbnamed The Death Road before the
ink on the incorporation papers had dried.
The road was never built. Chicago

 very sweet tooth and is very fond of good
 candy. The last three or four years he was in the Senate he was rarely without lozenge or other candy in his mouth. Senator Eaton and Senator Jones of Florida were both pets of Conkling, and both being very fond of candy, almost daily performed this little comedy: Eaton would stroll over to Conk- ling's desk and chat few moments, never failing to evince the profound admiration for Conkling that he had. By and by he would say: "Conkling, what do you do when your throat is dry and husky?" Thereupon Conk- ling would produce box, in which were the sugar plums, and Eaton, taking two or three, would stroll leisurely away with one in his mouth. By and by Jones would walk across the aisle and make his obesance to Conk- ling. Then he would cough and hem and clear his throat. Out would come the box and Jones made himself happy with two or three candies after sufficient hesitation about taking them. Once when Jones of Nevada was making long speech and his voice grew husky, Conkling arose, pulled his box of eonfeetions f1om his pocket, and presented 1t to the miner with as much formality and dignity as though conferring the order of the garter. He afterward told Jones that if he would eat more candy and use less tobacco he would have no trouble with his voice.

THE UNNAMED DRUMMER.

Commercial travellers and those for whom they travel and sell are, of course, pleased with the decision of the United States Su- preme court concerning the taxation of com mercial travellers by some States. This taxa tion has been very annoying,-to those who have been taxed, and doesn't seem to have done the taxers much good.
 In the opinion of the court, written by Justice Bradley, the United States are, in the matter of interstate commerce, but one country and are and must be subject to one system of regulations and not to multitude of systems t'It seems to be forgotten that the people of this country are citizens of the United States as well as of the individual States, and that they have some rights under the constitution and laws of the former inde- pendent of the latter, and free from any interference or restraint from them" To deny the State the power to lay the tax or require the license in question will not, the court believes, in any perceptible degree, diminish it's resources. Goods, when brought into State in consequence of a sale by a drummer, will be liable to taxation, and as much will be realized as if the tax were inn posed before the sale. To tax the sale of goods under such circumstances before the sale is, in the opinion of the court, clearly 6 tax on interstate commerce itself. If the employment of the drummer injuriously affects local trade Congress may be appealed to to make such regulations as the case may demand and Congress alone can do this.
 This makes the matter clear. With no restrictions on commercial travellers and with the interstate commerce bill in full opera tion trade ought to be good this year.

A Wonderful History.

Dr. R. 0. Flower spent more than six years of patient study and exhaustive re- search perfecting his great nerve and brain food. The success that has attended his eff forts more than compentates the time and labor they cost. His scientific Nerve Pills are to-day the most remarkable remedy known in medicine. They are a combina- tion of the finest nutritive elements in the world; they rapidly build up and restore the weakened and shattered brain and nerve power; they do not contain particle of opium, chloral, bromide, arsenic, stryehnine or other poisonous drug; they are as harm less as the most healthful food, and in the same way nourish and strengthen the brain and nerves. Thousands are living witnesses of the marvellous restorative powers of these pills. They are a living evidence of the splendid results that can be achieved by scientific skill, untiring study and patient labor 100 doses in every bottle.

ington as counsel for the Mormons declares that the recently enacted anti-polygamy law has twidened the breach between the Nor mons and the country" so that it may not be possible to bridge it over, and suggests that another course should have been pursued.

This is ingenious and well calculated to suit the Mormons.
